ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

I believe therapy is a safe place in which we can be heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths and find new ways to approach life's challenges.

If traditional talk therapy feels difficult, uncomfortable, or simply isn’t your thing, let’s try a different approach! As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Ciera uses art-making and creative self-expression to help clients explore LGBTQIA+ experiences, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Ciera believes therapy doesn’t have to look or feel a certain way to be meaningful. They value authenticity, curiosity, and thinking outside the box, creating space for clients to question expectations, explore their identities, and figure out what works for them.

Ciera's approach is warm and collaborative, with room for humor and honesty. You don’t have to show up with everything figured out, and you certainly don’t have to fit yourself into a box to belong in the therapy room. In sessions, you can explore what makes you you and build a life that feels more genuinely your own.

I work with adults and adolescents seeking compassionate, collaborative care—people who are motivated to grow, curious about understanding themselves, and ready to make meaningful changes. I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I provide a warm & collaborative space to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. Together we'll clarify your values and create goals that feel right for you, using a holistic, mindful approach that honors your strengths and pace.

Do you ever feel like you're failing to meet your own expectations, struggle to keep up with everyday tasks, or have you noticed that your ability to focus on work/school is dependent on your level of interest? Have you ever felt trapped by the responsibilities and routine of adult life? If any of these experiences feel familiar, I may be the right fit for you! I specialize in working with ADHD, perfectionism, and anxiety and can work with you to help you build a life that feels more sustainable.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from New York University. I have 20 years of experience helping clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, anger, family issues, loss, trauma and abuse. My approach is empathetic, genuine, understanding, and focused on clients' strengths.

In life, we all experience challenges. Sometimes all you need is extra support and someone to help guide you through difficult times. If you are experiencing anxiety, fears, stress, anger, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, or loss of a loved one, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Therapy can be a powerful next step toward your healing and growth. I am a NY Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a NJ Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide therapy in person at my office in Staten Island and virtually in a private space.

I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.
